if you want to test it with qemu and openQA, you would need a working emulated graphics driver, because that is what openQA is expecting to work with (apart from keyboard input, block-storage and network). You can test that with qemu -monitor stdio ... and then issue a screendump /tmp/foo.ppm IIRC the current openQA v3 version can also use VNC to talk to qemu. The other particularity would be that we don't have an installer on arm, but in openQA are already NOINSTALL and KEEPHDDS variables to test booting from pre-existing harddisk images.
